If you want to go up the Eiffel Tower (which I'd recommend), book in advance. The Arc de Triomphe is worth a visit but get there early. A trip on the Seine is a good way of seeing Notre Dame. Montmarte is a great place to eat and of course have a nosey around Sacre-Coeur. The Subway is a great way to get around as Taxis can be expensive.
We're staying a bit out of the way so were just going to use RER for most of it.
As long as you’re not staying in Gennevilliers. I can’t remember ever feeling so uneasy!
We’re staying near Val D’Europe
Paris does have some really nice bits and can be a great experience, but it is about knowing where to go. As others have said, or insinuated, a lot of it really is a shit hole and personally I am in no rush to go back there again any time in the near future.
Areas around Notre Dame, Montmarte, and Place de Clichy (do not mistake for Port de Clichy - terrible) I would say can be very nice, but as I said, plan the sites you wanna go see and do it that way. Some of the food and wine is delicious as well.

I know what you are saying, but Paris is one of the most oversold places in the world in my opinion. It has changed a lot in the last 20 years or so, maybe more. Not for the better either. The whole instagram and youtube influencers really tell a pack of lies when it comes to travel in general, but for me Paris is near the top of the pile with that. As I said above though, there are still great things to do there and I'm sure Brighton will have a good time.
Shit and hole, you will love all the graffiti on the outer city , so beautiful
Agreed. Shows how to do the risk tourist draw without the risks, tooVersailles!
Only been to Paris once on the piss when I was about 18, got into a fight within the first couple of hours, it was great - been meaning to go back for a few years now.
